His Curvy Bride - Nichole Rose Page 0,22

answer you before you bombard her with more questions?"

Riley stops talking and spins to face me. She opens her mouth and then closes it. "Stay right there," she orders me and then crosses the room to take the baby from Cash. "I love you, but you have to leave my office. We're going to talk about sex things and you aren't allowed to hear."

My face burns.

Cash chuckles and then shakes his head, climbing to his feet. He pulls Riley to him, kissing her on the forehead and then kissing the baby. "No talking about Bentley's dick, Riley," he warns her, his voice stern.

"But that's one of the best parts!"

"No," Cash says.

"We're not talking about his penis," I mumble, pretty sure my cheeks are as red as her lipstick right now. Cash has become like a brother to me, but I do not want to talk to him about sex things or even think about sex things with him around. It's too weird.

"Fine." Riley scowls at her husband like it's his fault we're not discussing Bentley's penis. "But you have to buy me pizza from DeSano for lunch."

"I'll buy you whatever you want if you forget other penises even exist, little goddess," Cash rumbles and then kisses her again before stomping toward the door. He's grinning though, which makes me smile. He always gives Riley whatever she wants. It's so cute. "I'll be back after my meeting to take the babies so you can go to your board meeting. I love you."

"I love you too."

"No penis talk," he says again and then closes the door behind him.

"He's so bossy," Riley complains even though we both know she loves when he bosses her around. She lights up from the inside out when he does it. She snuggles baby Leo on her shoulder, cooing at him before her eyes come back to me. "We’re totally talking about Bentley's penis. It's huge, isn't it? It has to be because he's a giant."

I glance at Tia, who is still banging her blocks together and then at Leo.

"Tia knows exactly four words," Riley says like she's reading my mind. "Penis isn't one of them. You're not getting out of this. Spill it, sister. Did you spend the night with him?"

I nod.

She squeals, which makes Leo let loose with a loud wail.

"No!" Tia shouts, one of the four words she has mastered. She doesn't like it when her brother cries. She tosses her blocks and scoots around until she can see him. Her little eyes narrow on her mama like she's telling her to fix the problem. She's going to be a handful when she's older, exactly like Riley.

"Shh, it's okay, little man," Riley coos, instantly switching from fierce CEO to mommy. She pats Leo on the bottom and bounces him until he settles down, his eyes closing again.

God, I want Bentley's babies so bad.

"We had sex."

"Obviously. Was it good?"

"So good."

Riley grins.

"And he's huge," I whisper, my gaze darting to the door to make sure Cash didn't sneak back in. He didn't.

"I knew it!" Riley says.

"I think I'm in love," I blurt out.

"Well, duh." She laughs at me. "I could have told you that yesterday. I've never seen you look at anyone the way you were looking at him. And I have never, ever seen Bentley like he was with you. You tamed the beast."

I frown. "Is he really as bad as everyone says?"

"Yes. No. Well…kind of. Bentley is a good man," she explains, laying Leo in the bassinet and smiling down at him. Tia goes back to her blocks, satisfied that her will has been done. "The people he cares about mean a lot to him and he's really protective of them. He doesn't take kindly to people using him, and it's happened more than once."

"That's really sad," I murmur, my heart aching for Bentley. I hate that people have tried to use him like they have me. The song he wrote, the one we sang, was full of so much longing for the kind of love Riley and Cash and Kasen and Olivia have. I didn't have to ask to know what it was about because I've felt the same way. Maybe that's why the song worked so well with the two of us. We both know what it's like to be lonely and to feel unwanted.

"It is," Riley agrees, moving away from the bassinet. She stops to hand Tia a bottle and then strokes a hand through her wild hair. "He's gorgeous and really
